The Cure

In 2012, when The Cure graced the stage at Pinkpop, they were riding the wave of their 2008 album, *4:13 Dream*. It had taken them four years to release that one, marking a significant pause in their prolific career. During the time leading to their 2012 performance, fans were buzzing with anticipation—not just because of the album, but also due to the band's revered status in the alt-rock scene, characterized by Robert Smith's iconic hairstyle and poetic lyrics that resonated with generations. Interestingly, this live performance at Pinkpop showcased their phenomenal live energy, a crucial element of their persona, blending songs from their extensive catalog with a captivating stage presence. And let's not forget the palpable connection they maintain with their audience, a trademark that has always defined their live shows, making moments like these unforgettable.
